Weekly Features

It's been difficult for us to choose just one feature each. Your vintage finds, vignettes and just plain creativity have been awesome!

Kathleen's Pick

While I've certainly heard of a Walking Taco, I can't say that I've ever heard of a Walking Strawberry Shortcake -- but I definitely want to make one! If you're looking for a sweet, easy and fun-to-eat dessert look no further. Lois of Walking on Sunshine Recipes holds the answer (or, ah, the recipe). Visit Walking Strawberry Shortcake Recipe - A Walking Taco Twist for the details!

Cecilia's Pick

It's always fun to discover a creative gift idea, and Nathalie from Press Print Party! shared the cutest DIY Graduation Money Lei! If you look closely at the photo, you can see our friend shared two versions of this clever gift. Visit Nathalie for the step-by-step instructions!

1. Content: Submit up to three posts that involve vintage finds, crafts, DIYs and other vintage subject matter. No shops or direct advertising, please.

2. Link-back: We'd love it if you'd include the Vintage Charm button or a text link back to the party in your linked post.

3. Visitation: Please visit other blog posts -- after all that's what a link-up is all about. When pinning please go to the source of the photo to pin it so the originator of the post gets the credit.

5. Spread the Word: Consider mentioning Vintage Charm on your social media to help spread the word and make this party a great experience for everyone.

6. Prizes: Keep in mind that each month we will select one of the month's featured posts to be featured on both hostesses' blogs. At the end of the year one of the twelve monthly features will be selected as the Grand Prize Feature of the Year. Prize TBA.
